About
Teal Bend Golf Club runs alongside the Sacramento River, enjoying a lush landscape covered in natural wetlands. One of the characteristics the course is known for is its stunning scenery, which works against the challenging layout by being almost too distracting. All of your attention will have to be focused on successfully maneuvering past the mature trees and natural rough areas that sit along the edges of the undulating greens and narrow, winding fairways. Long hitters will enjoy this golf course, which stretches to 7,000 yards from the back tees. There are also some interesting risk/reward holes that will appeal to both low and high handicappers, which is why it is one of Sacramento's most popular public courses. The well maintained driving range is also a popular feature at Teal Bend Golf Club.

Very hot day. The water coolers were perfect. The course looked and played well. I will ne back in the future.
SURPRISINGLY OPEN
Haven't played this course on a Sunday before and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't at all crowded. In fact, played as a twosome and wasn't pushed by anyone.
Teal Bend
Very nice course; challenging but not a backbreaker. Keep the ball in the fairway, lateral hazards abound.
This course is one of the hidden jewls in California. I have had memberships in private golf clubs for over 10 years. Teal Bend is far better.
Beautiful scenery, well kept fairways and greens. Restrooms and food& beverage services needed improvement. Been a golfer the last 17 years and enjoy thebgame more when i can relax and eat after a round.
Watering
I love the layout of this course, but somebody is leaving the water on! I thought we were in a drought... Dry that baby out to be firm and fast. This track is a gem when conditions are good.
And drop the attitude in the bar and grill..
It was 110 degrees and we were denied ice unless we bought a beverage... I even offered 5 bucks for a bag of ice, and with a total attitude was denied.. That was a major disappointment.
flying with the aircraft
My regular golf buddy & I had a great round, hot, sunny, LOTS of Mosquitoes. The water in the scheduled hazards was a little high, sand traps were a little compacted. My buddy said that, I don't play in the sand. All in all, we are anticipating our next round & I think the earlier the better.
Very Pleasant
Nice course. No big surprises. Very nice staff. Certainly recommend it.
Peaceful, lovely, very manageable course
This is a peaceful and beautiful track with no houses, fairly easy if you aren't wild. Can be a good value at twilight, online specials, etc., but green fees are too high for prime times otherwise. Bermuda rough, nice greens. Reachable holes.
Note: must have your bug spray handy. It's 100 yards from the river.
One of the best we played all year
With all the water shortages, I never expected this great of course for such a reasonable price. The staff and pro shop were very good also.
Mosquitos
Course was in good condition, only drawback was the mosquitos.
Level but interesting
I'll start this out by saying that I'm from Colorado so when I say level, take that with a grain of salt... I'd play this course again and really enjoy it. We were there during a very bad drought and I was impressed how well maintained it was given the drought. There are tons of bunkers that give the course some of its difficulty and a few water obstacles. The trees are beautiful and some tall grasses line the fairways...if you find a few balls in there, you're welcome! My favorite part was the wildlife; we saw wild turkeys, geese and rabbits all over the place, but none were an issue.. Turkey's seem a bit smarter than geese, which I've not experienced before. My one distraction the day we were there was a fella walking in the field next to the course shooting at rabbit. Dude, there's a Safeway a few mikes away; nah, to each there own, but gun shots are a bit annoying when you're lining up at the tee box.. Not the courses' fault though... Enjoy this one.
Teal Bend 8-29-2014
The tees, fairways and 17 of 18 greens are in fine condition. The coarse is cut through the trees but the fairways and rough are very generous. A pleasure to play.
Grrens were rough
Our only complaint deals with the greens. We weren't told that they had been aerated and sanded recently. That resulted in poor putting surfaces. Several of the greens also had significant damage to the grass, with bare spots.
The fairways were well manicured, however. When the greens get back to normal Teal Bend will once again be a totally fantastic course overall.
Seems the Greens are ALWAYS punched or have fungus.
I like the layout.. Fun course.. but they have really got to improve the quality of the greens... I've NEVER been here and thought the greens were good. Get it together TB!
Terrible greens!
Greens were in the worst condition I've seen them. They had been punched about 2 wks ago and seemed slow to recover, but also, many had large patchy areas that desperately need attention. Fairways and tee boxes were ok. The course was also a little soggy in places. Overall, a dissapointing day thanks to the condition of the greens. The guy in the golf shop claimed that the greens had recovered to 85%. I would beg to differ. They seem to have much further to go than that.
Fun course
I've played this course a few times and it gets better every time. This last time I could tell the greens had been recently aerated, but that wasn't an issue on most of the holes. Nice course to play and there usually aren't that many people playing it during the week. I've only been golfing for about 8 months and I love playing this course because it's a great challenge for my current skill set.
Green
Green gree green. Nice forgivin greens . All i see is green
One of Sacramento's best
I played this course for the first time this week, and will definitely plan to play it again with friends and relatives. It has fairly wide fairways that are tree lined and gives it a beautiful, rural park-like setting. The greens had just been punched about a week ago, so if you are thinking of playing here you may want to wait another week or two. Otherwise the tees, fairways and even bunkers were in very good condition. Probably my favorite in the Sacramento area now.
Thanks for the great review! Thanks again for coming out, hope to see you again soon.

Im sorry to hear you have only played when our greens are less that perfect. Call me next time you are thinking about playing in a few weeks, and I'll let you know how the course conditions are. You gotta play when the greens are good! Just ask for the Head Pro when you call. Hope to hear from you soon.
